It’s true, my unicorn told me so
FRAUD NEWS is pure right wing propaganda.
“Mind control is the process by which individual or collective freedom of choice and action is compromised by agents or agencies that modify or distort perception, motivation, affect, cognition and/or behavioral outcomes. It is neither magical nor mystical, but a process that involves a set of basic social psychological principles. Conformity, compliance, persuasion, dissonance, reactance, guilt and fear arousal, modeling and identification are some of the staple social influence ingredients well studied in psychological experiments and field studies. In some combinations, they create a powerful crucible of extreme mental and behavioral manipulation when synthesized with several other real-world factors, such as charismatic, authoritarian leaders, dominant ideologies, social isolation, physical debilitation, induced phobias, and extreme threats or promised rewards that are typically deceptively orchestrated, over an extended time period in settings where they are applied intensively.”

Anybody who believes Kanye West deserves whatever happens to them.
Of course he talks about Russia instead of the bigger problem from WITHIN the USA.
God….this thumbnail 😅 an intern was defintely amusing themselves today
It won’t be by restricting information, it’ll be by increasing information and transparency. Timeless solutions to these timeless problems
Only weak-minded people believe in the former guy.
That’s a kind way to put it.
You do know that there are millions of people that believe him
Vaccinate through faith-free education. Feeding the desire to know, instead of the desire to believe. The latter causes mental obesity.
When the fairness act was disallowed during the Reagan era , Rush and many like him could spread untruths , so a stand against untruths need to be enacted..
The problem with that now, is that most Republicans consider that censorship and free speech violation, while not fully understand what free speech even means.
@Jeremy Backup I get that , I have family in Texas , that are life long Republicans , but hopefully the influx of none republicans can help sway the trajectory of politics in Texas … I visited and was amazed and the ‘ we have all the energy and water we ever need mindset, no insulation , everyone living in their air conditioned bubbles , aquifer water ,all these things take lots of power…
@AriSiMom I live in Texas….all those big trucks and huge SUVS!!!
@Jeremy Backup Christians are told not to lie in the Bible. While it is clear now that the majority of American Christians are of a different sect, they do claim to acknowledge the authority of the Bible.
So how can they insist that the constitution’s limited protection of free speech also includes a right to lie?
@allan james From what i understand of their delusional thinking and self-justification it appears that Jesus cancelled all the commandments from the Old Testament so the only one that applies now is love Jesus and your neighbour. I guess that means lying is ok now.
Remember when people use to spend more time playing Pok e’ mon Go instead of Wok e’ mon Bro?
Pepperidge Farms Remembers…
True story, I was eating a Pepperidge Farm Caramel Macchiato Cookie while reading this.
A step needs to be taken against the Republicans that are still spreading and upholding the lie that the election was stolen from Trump. And people like Lindsay Graham still going on fox and calling Trump Mr. President this just another one of the ways that keeping people confused it needs to stop .
Make people who report the news libel for what they report, especially if they repeat lies over and over again
Who needs foreign disinformation–we have enough of our own.
Can’t watch FAUX.
Prioritize education. Half the nation is living in a dream world.
She lists all of these great things then asks…”Is that heading in the right direction?”
I truly always believed there was no such thing as a stupid question…until now.
THE MINIMUM WAGE NEEDS TO GO UP WITH INFLATION EVERY YEAR AUTOMATICALLY!!
You mention how our leaders are the ones who can take a stand on the misinformation but they are the ones who fuel the misinformation
Drown the lies, flood the net with the correct information.
We missed loading the “magic bullet” a long time ago, we let our education system get watered down by evangelicals who thought scientific based education was a slight against their God…
